Our team had an added game during a tournament, and Scott allowed us flexibility with the party start time. He also helped us to sort extra food for our group, and it was super easy to add additional kids to the initial amount we'd confirmed. The space is clean and well maintained. The staff seem to be mostly teens, but they were more attentive and friendly than other places. Overall, it's a great local space for kids parties, and everyone loved it!

Honest Review, Location wise, very hard to locate the map…read morewill take you else where so you have to ensure you read the email instructions on how to get here carefully. Location looks like it's abandoned from the outside and it has you wondering if you are at the right place, once you go inside I recommend going during the week when the lady is working (forgot her name) she is very nice and enthusiastic about her job she makes the experience 10x better, we came back on the weekend and got assigned another game master he didn't even brief us just took us straight in seems as if he just wanted to get us in and out as fast as possible a little rude. Completely different experience but anyways the rooms are very well themed 9/10 , the puzzles are very immersive 10/10, if you get the lady as the game master 10/10 staff, if you get the guy 5/10 staff. You should definitely stop by for a fun time here at pan IQ. Would definitely recommend Wild West as a starting point.

When we arrived the aura of the place was insane! So cozy and calming. Bryan or Brian (didn't ask the correct spelling) was our facilitator for our event.

We had so much fun blending and creating our candles. Initially I thought this would be a fun one time only experience, but I cannot wait to come back to make something else!

I've done…read morethis twice before at other places, and compared to those experiences, this one felt disorganized and inefficient. There are only about 20 scents, which felt pretty limited. Since the scents were presented on small paper strips rather than in bottles, it also took a long time for our group to smell everything. Once we chose our scents, there was very little guidance on how to blend them. When I asked about ratios for base vs. top notes, I was told to "do whatever you want." If you're in the bay, I'd recommend checking out Florra instead

Great summer food option at Great America! We were very lucky that we got to come here when our day…read moreunder the sun with rollercoasters and the water park coincided with Taste of Orleans. Since everything here looked way more delicious than the regular food park (and we confirmed they're much better!), here's my review of each offering. We paid to get a badge with little tabs that you rip off for each dish that you take. They're small bites, and the nice thing is that between the 3 of us, we got to share and sample each dish. These were what they offered at each lettered station: A) Chicken & Sausage Gumbo over rice A) Cajun Brownie B) Crawfish Fritters with Creole dipping sauce B) Muffuletta Slider C) Fried Oyster Po' Boy C) Boudin Sausage with Peppers D) Creole Shrimp and Crab Cheesecake D) Crawfish Boil E) Blackened Chicken Pizza E) Peach Cobbler F) Beignets F) Praline Bread Pudding These were some standouts: 1) Boudin Sausage with peppers--this was the first one I ate, soooooo good! It consisted of sausage stuffed with rice and peppers. Wish there was more sausage. 2) Cajun brownie--it looked like an ordinary though tasty brownie. Once you bite into it, you realize there's a spicy kick! 3) Crawfish Fritters with Creole dipping sauce--fritters were small, and they give you waaayyyy too much sauce, more than you need. 4) Muffuletta sliders--I took a bite, sliders aren't my thing 5) Fried Oyster Po'Boy--not a whole lot of oysters, to be honest. I would have liked more of them. 6) Gumbo--nice and hearty 7) Creole shrimp and crab cheesecake--one of my faves! It's a savory cheesecake, very unique! Save the creole sauce from the crawfish fritters (if you get them), because the dipping sauce goes so well with this cheesecake! 8) Blackened chicken pizza--mmm, good pizza! It was funny to receive this and marvel over how much better than looked compared to the basic pizzas that were being served to those getting standard food 9) Peach Cobbler--it was fantastic to see my boyfriend enjoying this. So nice and sweet! 10) Beignets--sweet, with an explosion of powdered sugar everywhere. I looked like a cocaine addict Great America should definitely do more of these food events!

The Taste Of Orleans Festival premiered at California's Great America for the first time this year…read moreand I must say that I was very impressed. This seems to be the new thing with various amusement parks having food and wine festivals and I think it's a great idea because it allows the guests to try different foods and beverages outside of the normal amusement park fare. The festival took place in the Orleans Square section of the park and this are was really brought to life with various New Orleans style decorations, the huge Taste Of Orleans billboard/postcard and of course the zydeco music blasting throughout the area. This festival was held for two week on weekends only from 12-10. They had various creole/cajun food items that were available during this festival such as shrimp po'boys, Muffulettas, beignets, Crawfish Étouffée and so on. You could purchase the items seperately or purchase the tasting card. The tasting card listed 6 items to sample for $25 they included the beignets, creole meatballs, bourbon grilled chicken wings, Crawfish Étouffée, chicken and andouille gumbo and red beans & rice. I tried everything on the tasting card except the red beans & rice and I must say that I was really impressed with the food. The portion size was very generous and 2 people could probably split the tasting card and get full. The bourbon grilled chicken wings were really good they had a sweet and spicy flavor and were cooked to perfection. The creole meatballs came with three huge meatballs that were tender and not overcooked and topped with this unique sweet sauce (probably my favorite item). The crawfish etouffee was very good, it was my first time trying it and I was not disappointed. It was very spicy and full of flavor and served over rice. The gumbo I was skeptical to try because I don't eat gumbo, actually haven't had it in over 10 years but it was pretty good it had nice chunks of chicken and spicy andouille sausage but I wish it was served with rice or at least a piece of french bread. And lastly the beignets, these I was not too impressed with because I felt they were too heavy and tasted too much like a donut. I've had real beignets and while these were a step in the right direction they didn't really make the mark for me. I wanted to try the special bananas foster funnel cake but was too full. They also had a beer & wine tasting room and you could purchase a tasting card for that as well and from what I was told the pourings were very generous as well. Aside from the food there was lots to see and lots of entertainment throughout the area. There were two stages where a couple different bands played the traditional Zydeco music and they were good bands might I add. It really added to the festival and it was nice to see everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. There were about 6-7 artists making chalk art and it was amazing, they endured that heat and messed up concrete to draw this lovely artwork. Then every hour or so there was another band and singer that had the little second line thing going on, they would come from the middle of the park playing music all the way to Orleans Place. All of the staff working the festival had their nice Mardi Gras colors and outfits on, the girls on stilts were a hit with everybody. They would be dancing and throwing beads to the crowds of people while the band played. Then to end the night after the festival they had Cajun themed fireworks, these were by far the best fireworks I've ever seen at Great America although they were a bit on the short side. I see they have taken a page out of Disneyland's book because this was just amazing, when it starts all of the lights go out and the Zydeco music starts playing but the fireworks are timed to the music. They had fireworks and fire shooting from the buildings and everything. They really outdid themselves and I was very impressed. I absolutely loved the festival and was told that it will be back next year but bigger and better and I think it's definitely work checking out!

We booked our daughter's birthday party at Sky Zone and had a great experience overall! If you're…read morelooking for a fun party that requires very little work from the parents, I definitely recommend it. A few things to know when booking: when you call with questions, you're directed to a call center rather than the actual location. They also didn't automatically add the "Like a Boss" upgrade to my package, so I had to call to get that corrected. If you have an Elite Membership, you get 20% off your party package, which was a nice perk! There is a 10-jumper minimum. As long as you meet the minimum, they'll refund you for any additional jumpers who were booked but don't show up. The "Like a Boss" upgrade was 100% worth it! The birthday girl received a T-shirt and a pass to jump every day for 100 days. Each guest received 2-hour admission, sunglasses, socks, a water bottle, a token for an ICEE or ice cream, and a backpack. They gave the kids so much that I didn't even bother making separate goodie bags! They also allow you to bring your own food at no additional charge, which was a huge plus. Table covers, plates, and utensils were provided. For every five jumpers, you get a pizza and soda. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the pizza--it was much better than the typical "cardboard pizza" you expect at kids' party places. Our party host, Julio, was wonderful! He was friendly, professional, and made everything run smoothly. Huge shout-out to him! Check-in was also quick and easy. Our jumpers ranged from 2-6 years old, and no one wanted to leave! The only downside was that the two hours went by FAST. I wish there were an option to extend the party room time rather than just the jump time. Overall, Sky Zone made throwing a birthday party incredibly easy. The kids had a blast, the parents didn't have to do much, and you get a lot for what you pay for. 10/10! We would definitely book a party here again.

They gave a shoutout to my son using the mic, which was a nice touch. We hosted my daughter's birthday at Skyzone Curtner before but we like this location more as there are more diverse activities. Also, at Skyzone Meridian you can go back to play after eating your cake, which is not allowed to at Skyzone Curtner. Skyzone Meridian gave a drawstring bag as goodie bag to each kid with a Skyzone water bottle, a free pass to come back, a token for either icee or ice cream, and my son got a tee shirt and other goodies. It's so nice for us parents to relax and enjoy the party, and I would definitely consider hosting another party at this location the future.
